Testing for biulding software

Golem- Have you seen this MediaTek LinkIt™ Assist 2502 development platform

It is instructions on how to set up a testing pcb to write software and firmware for Mediatek 2502 .

Just got my 1:1 Goophone on Monday it has the 160218 version with an issue date of 02/18/2018 time 11:00.

I installed the Mediatek app on Android phone and got the Digital clock installed.

The digital crown does nothing. Any idea if this can be made to work or was the promise in the you tube video just vaporware promise.

I have also seen watch face pictures which are real Apple watch pictures so buyers beware.

Incidentally my main phone is HTC ONE M8 Windows phone. I installed mobile 10 through developer and preview.

The watch is found and I can make calls get notifications and text. Pretty much all I need.

I have rooted phones in the past but only skill is to follow directions and use the great work completed by you and others here

Keep up the good work
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Hi there, yes, I've seen it, as long as what I'm doing here is just a hobby or a logic playground for my brain, that development platform exceeds tormentingly my "pay grade" :)
[Other SmartWatches] dimadoussa:
hi golem

i received my smartwatch with this firmware version: 160218

what's the difference between 160126 and the last one 160218

and can you make new faces for this last firmware and add it to your project?

thank you
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Please check the discussion I had with pemome on very this thread regarding 160218 version subject starting with 31th page and further. Yet I do not deny the slightest chance that your watch is to contain a real different firmware - in order to answer once for all please do a readback dump and send me the 8 MB file extracted
[Other SmartWatches] hkgbenlo:
:):)Hi Golem,

Thank you for unlocking the firmware. Sorry to bother I was able to put the watch face into the rom. But after flashing the rom the watch faces were not able to show on the watch. I've no idea what happen. Hope you can point me to the right direction :)
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Please be more specific, what it is showing on your watch? even better, describe step by step what did you do in order to change watch faces and flash the firmware
[Other SmartWatches] hkgbenlo:
Hi Golem,

Thank you for your reply. I think I got it willupload the image shortly.Cheers :)
[Other SmartWatches] hkgbenlo:
Ok got the pictures ready
[Other SmartWatches] zed923:
But to someone it never worked uv sensor?
[Other SmartWatches] Pascal DW:
Personnal clock

Hi, it's possible to create a personal clock, for example with a personnal picture ?

:confused:
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I'm not quite sure who/what stops you to create a watch skin using of a personal picture!
[Other SmartWatches] Pezuco:
Hi Golem, can you modify the firm iwo 160218 to add the watch faces ?. even if it is the same firm that 160126, the 160218 has solved what that digital numbers of the watch face No. 3 did not look good.

Thanks!!!
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Now I got it, ok, if you sure about this I'll do the trick
[Other SmartWatches] zed923:
Hi sensor uv work?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Done, check mtk2502C development folder - link -
[Other SmartWatches] zed923:
But you can have an animated whatchface this smartwatch? O.o
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Theoretically yes, a gif can be animated, practically there is not enough space
[Other SmartWatches] zed923:
And even what can occupy an animated gif ???

DM09/LF07

Hello,

I'm a newbie.

Please, can you confirm if this development can be compatible with DM09/LF07 Smartwatch?

Thank you.
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Most probably no, it is not compatible
[Other SmartWatches] StefArts:
Ok, what a pity!

Is there any planned development for DM09/LF07?

Any known mods/hacks/codes?

Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Man, do a readback dump backup, send it to me and we'll see what can I do for you
[Other SmartWatches] StefArts:
Thanks very much.

I'll do it as soon as possible as I do not Have any Windows computer...

Thank again.

[Other SmartWatches] killer_cross:
Hi guys I'm new here in the forum, newly registered that is but I've been using the forums here for a few years now to flash roms for phones and other stuff. Anyway sorry to hear that you've given up Deki95. I was actually waiting for someone to get the iwo 2nd gen detected by Windows. I have the gen 1 which I have put in several self designed watch faces with the help of the ROMs and the tools Golem_ provided and when I got the 2nd gen I really wanted to flash it because it really looks like the apple watch steel edition. Original spigen protective cases can actually fit. Anyway inductive cable won't work because it is really just for charging. I've searched everywhere and asked everyone I know and really no way to use that. But there is a port that should be the port that we can actually use for the 2nd gen. This is actually the same as the original apple watch which is the hidden diagnostic/data port inside the bottom band slide exactly same place were the apple watch's is. I've already opened mine and it is there so basically what we need to connect to it is the diagnostic USB cable. I am going to try to make one and once it is detected by windows either as a com port or storage then pretty much sure would be able to backup the ROM and flash ROM's with modded watch faces. If I am successful I will just post here how to create the USB cable. :)
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
how many pins has that hidden port?
[Other SmartWatches] gtMARK989:
So what if I have Windows 10?

What can I do?

I need to switch off the certificate? And how can I do that?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
The way to get around this is to reboot Windows without signed driver being enforced. To do this, you go to the start menu and click on power and hold down the shift key while clicking on restart. A screen then comes up and you need to choose troubleshooting and then startup options. It will then reboot and give you a menu. press 7 which is ignore signed drivers and then when windows comes up, you will be able to install the drivers.
[Other SmartWatches] gtMARK989:
Thanks. I will try it :) :good:
[Other SmartWatches] gtMARK989:
THANK YOU! I updated my watch. Everything is okay :D :victory:
[Other SmartWatches] james33440:
Hello I just received this watch. It works good with my iPhone. I have noticed that the camera controller and messages sometimes appears on my watch but nothing happens. The message notification shows reply but doesn't work. It's greyed out. Not sure why sometimes it appears and other times it doesn't. Regardless the notifications work on the watch. Too bad when you clear them it doesn't erase them from the phone.

One question is there a way to update the firmware? Is there a benefit to doing so if there's an upgrade?
[Other SmartWatches] nooficial:
Hello anyone knows this Android apk Mediatek, has several faces ?

the officer google play apk content not seem to be only the famous orange faace [IMG="Apk Mediatek Andorid version ???"]https://imageshack.com/i/po2UQKLUj[/IMG]

[Other SmartWatches] gtMARK989:
Can I update the watch on Mac using Windows 7 via Boot Camp?
[Other SmartWatches] sanchitrathi:
hey Golem first of all thanks for all that youve done for everyone here and are continuing to do.

I wanted your help on one thing and i would be really grateful if you could help me

i have apple watch with version 151014 and i cant find how to add custom faces to it anywhere and i would love your help if you could help me with it.

Can you tell me hwen youre not busy and can help. Im new to this but i would really like an upgrade

Thanks !
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
getting here - you'll find anything needed in order to update your watch as version and watch skins appearance

step 1 - download tools archive - there is a flash tool and drivers for

step 2 - choose and download as well a firmware version you'd like to run from now on

step 3 - download Mtk_Res app as well as the set of new watch skins

step 4 - here you find a tutorial in order to install watchfaces in the firmware you chose at step 2 - just don't forget that for each watchface you have to upload two pictures, one of 240x240 for main and one of 150x150 for preview

step 5 - is about flashing the firmware you just changed into your watch

- 5.1 - install drivers and start flash tool

- 5.2 - press scatter file button, get in the firmware folder and choose the cfg file

- 5.3 - turn off your phone

- 5.4 - press download, wait at least two seconds and connect watch

- 5.5 - wait the process to get complete, when the big green circle disconnect the phone
[Other SmartWatches] sanchitrathi:
Thanks a lot Golem that was really useful and clear, thanks again for your help

i just had one question above you said choose and download the firmware version youd like to run from now on.

Does that mean i can use firmware other than 151014?

Also do i have to connect my phone to the laptop or my watch?

my watch is only magnet connection so i dont know if it can transfer data.

Also if it has to be done by phone do i need android phone?

im sorry for asking so much i dont want to brick my watch thats all.

Again i cant thank you enough for your time :D
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
No worries about the magnet, there are 4 pins = USB connection, it would be a problem if you'd have inductive charger (not your case, they introduced inductors for IWO 2nd generation)

We have already your firmware in the data base , but if you are a bit skeptic (which is GOOD) and you like to play a bit, get here and extract/rebuild yourself your own firmware (at step 3 you have a length 0x00800000) - in this way there will be no more doubts in trying new versions IWO watch

note: don't move the watch and make sure the contacts are consistent during the process of readback/flashing
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Hello! Not sure if this is the right place to ask for help for my problem.

I have a big problem with my smartwatch GT88. I installed a black skin watch trought "My applications" at Mediatek APK and now my watch doesnt work. It keeps turning of and on repeatedly.

What should I do? I only think on hard reset or something like that, but dont know how to do it. Could anyone help me solving this?

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Get here and extract/rebuild its firmware - then you can do a full format and rewrite the firmware - all these just from computer
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Ok! I'll try it!

Thanks for your help!

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

Hello again!

I've just started the procedure and its not working!

I start the preparations and when I press "Readback button in the middle menu and wait 2 seconds and connect through USB your watch" it appears a message saying "Failure ti enumerate a certain COM port!"

When I connect the smartwacth to computer it keeps connecting and disconecting because the smartwatch now its always turning on and off.

What should I do?

there is no way to turn off your watch?
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
At this moment is off because its out of battery. But if have battery it keeps turning on and off... can't turn it off or on!
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Weird situation - battery is not removable so we are cornered. . . press start for a ram test and after connect the watch keeping pressed the power on button
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Ok. I´ll try it later. Don't have the smartwatch here with me. And all of this start happening after installed and choose a black skin watch trought Fundo Wear APK...

Here is two videos with the problem.

I checked videos - we have a real problem here - in flashtool options you can set <usb download without battery>, who knows - could work

Gen2 Hidden port

Hi Golem. Sorry was very busy. Haven't gotten the time to fabricate the cable I plan to test with. Anyway the gen 2 model has the same 6 pin port as the apple watch, same location and same process to remove it as the apple watch though it is not magnetic. It's using double sided adhesive. Really want to flash the gen 1 watch FW to this because this one really looks like an apple watch. I can even use original cases.

Plan to solder the six pin of a PS2 to USB converter and make the connector cable. If i can get Windows to detect the storage of the watch then I will proceed to see if I can make a readback. Maybe you can help check if the readback is a good working backup before I actually proceed to flash? :)

hai , thank you very much for the help and after installation of that rom my boot screen of watch changed from apple to WATCH please help to recover that..... thanks in advance:):o
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
check the russian site, where you found that firmware there are secret codes, one of them switch on that apple thing
[Other SmartWatches] Rahul Roi:
but those are not working bro
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
then test these firmwares (for Houser_M_D those codes are working for sure) - link -
[Other SmartWatches] Rahul Roi:
installation will be same right??
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
No man, try telekinetic method :)))))) Of course, same procedure
[Other SmartWatches] Rahul Roi:

[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
fun fun, isn't it??? glad you like it! we are developers or what :))
[Other SmartWatches] sav25:
Just to confirm, everything works perfectly. I'm now playing with watch faces as you'll see on your other thread. Thanks again.

Out of interest, what do you do 'your end' to make the custom software?

I wonder if someone, somewhere, knows how to get rid of that horrible pink background on the music and calendar apps? :silly:
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
pretty hard thing, they have an impossible to decode RLE, do you have any knowledge base about this?
[Other SmartWatches] sav25:
I'm afraid not, I'm new to this level of detail with this kind of thing. I've rooted phones etc but not that low level.

Must be someone out there that can tear it apart?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
no man, there is no one, have you seen anybody else excluding me switching on hidden backgrounds? it is an unknown realm... this RTOS crap is a full 24/7 nightmare
[Other SmartWatches] nasraul:
hay ,i already succes to readback my original firmware, but i cant unpack that file,i try to use tool mtk6260 readback extractor but show error when extracting.. is there other way to unpack my gt88 mtk2502c

this my readbackfile drive*google*com/file/d/0B8OwsxWfwMvDRGFJazNYYTNnSVk/view?usp=sharing

thxx
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Hi there, yes, app is showing error because it is meant to work just for compatible devices, here - link - you have your firmware kit. Advice, don't try to install any else than gt88 firmwares, otherwise you risk to brick forever your watch
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Of course man, once you get extracted the readback dump we'll make sure all things are as they have to be before any flashing attempt
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Hello!

Have already trying the last solutions you suggest but still the same. When I try to make a "Memory test" or sellecting "usb download without battery" it always appear the message "Failed to enumerate a certain COM port!"

Any other ideas to try? Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
That error comes up when the driver is not properly installed or the watch is not connected, down side of the flash tool appear any number in the com port box or is just searching word?
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Its just searching word... :(

When I connect to pc it makes the sound of new device detected and pluged, but 3 seconds after makes the sound of disconnected device!
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
You sure you have installed properly the drivers?
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
I guess I have...

From the folder "mtk drivers v1.1032.1" I choose "InstallDriver.exe"... isn't it correct?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Yes, it is correct, the problem is that your watch doesn't get turned off. . .
[Other SmartWatches] sanchitrathi:
Thanks a lot again golem just one final question before i begin

the file for the 151014 firmware says 151014 official. do i use that file for modding or not?

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
that means there's nothing else I can do??? :(
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
No, that firmware is official firmware from factory, I have no modding for 151014 (yet), for changing watch skins use any of these versions, if you like 151014 I will create MOD version for this firmware as well

First do the readback and make sure readback extractor is rebuilding your firmware successfully

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

kind of paradoxical situation

did you stop checking certificate for drivers in windows?
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Not sure of what you mean...

I've been searching on internet about drivers for this smartwatch... but withouth any luck.
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
d. step from preparations in order to do the readback
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Yes... did that... but no luck!
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I'm out of ideas . . .
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Does this smartwatch have some kind of reset button on the board??? Some secret button??? I dont know what else to do... will keep trying!

Thanks for your help!
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I don't know, man, if there would be a reset button for sure you'll know already from manual
[Other SmartWatches] cblove:
Can the sdk be ran using Linux?
[Other SmartWatches] oliverortiz77:
They guys from the Spanish forum said that a hard reset would be pressing both buttons for 20 secs . I haven't try it but is worth to try
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
No lucky... been pressing the button for 1 minute and nothing.

But thanks for your help. Can you tell me which forum did you saw that?

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

Today I tried on a pc with windows 7 and when I connected to pc it start charging and the micro sd card folder appeard on a new folder... However when I open the flashtools it was the same thing with that error about COM port. I tried all the options that the talk before but still nothing.

I am losing the hope of making it work again. Will keep trying...
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
open flash tool as administrator under xpsp3 compatibility
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Sorry for this question but what is that... "under xpsp3 compatibility"???

Is the same as with the right mouse button choose "run as administrator"???

[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Man, get in my thread about readback extractor - there is a tutorial about readback dump, the process is similar in many ways with download one, check if you did all steps (preparations + ram test)
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
It worked... but the smartwatch still the same when I turned it on... keeps turning on and off :(

I managed to follow all the steps... On first step I get the "big green ring" and then passed to second stage where its "health 100%" and create the files on DZ09 folder.

But when I turn on the phone it was the same thing!!!! :(

What else can I try???
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Man, you did it!!! send me please the results and if everything is ok you'll flash that firmware back in your phone and hopefully your watch will get healed!

But first thing first, send me now the firmware kit resulted from readback!
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Really??? yeessssss :) :) :)

How can I send you the files?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
zip it rar or whatever and attach the archive here

I'm quite sure that now we'll be able to heal it
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Ok... I am sending the files... Hope you can do some magic :)
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
now, turn off the watch, press scatter file, load the cfg file from the folder you just sent me, press download, connect the watch to usb and wait to flash your watch till green circle then come back and tell me how's working your watch
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Its working again... I am going to test it to check if all the functions are working properly.

Thank you so much for your help!!!! Really!!!!
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Don't waste your time testing, it is exactly as before, maybe you lost the IMEI (it was in nvram, not sure if was included in rom or not) but IMEI can be written back
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Yes... looks like it is perfect!!! Now I am going to try install some new skin watches that I saw around here. Should I do this process http://niezarmsan.blogspot.pt/2015/12/how-to-install-firmware-on-dz09-mtk6260.html ??? And after? Waht I have to do?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
No man, stop any move, for now enjoy your watch as it is - that site is for dz09, your watch has totally different hardware and you risk to brick it forever - I have checked your OS firmware - is full different of anything I saw until now, I cannot promise but I will try to MOD it in that way you'll be able to change your watch skins - till then my advice is: do not flash anything else than the firmware you have extracted from your watch - by the way - keep that firmware kit in somewhere in safe
[Other SmartWatches] pedrosilvabt:
Ok...

Once again Thank you so much for your help!!! :)
